Jane Adams

‘In the garden, I find myself thinking about how man manipulates nature. Are hybridised flowers natural or not? I realise that I have always tried to make natural objects - shells or plants - but of course this is impossible for me to do.

So, rather than exercising total control over the outcome, I work with the metal to create forms such as curves or cracks.

Anodised aluminium offers unique opportunities for surface colour and texture, and I enjoy its structural limitations, finding myself forced to find original solutions to forming and assembling the work.

‘I am interested too in the mathematical order of organic forms. I begin with balanced geometrical proportions - though these will be stretched and distorted - and use sequences to create structures.

The resulting jewellery comes alive when it then finds a wearer, forming a sensual relationship with her and becoming part of the expression of herself.’
